Join the Democracy Game - Page 9

Welcome! Whenever you see a thread labelled "Poll" at its' start, that is one where there is a place to vote. At the moment there aren't many polls going, except for the one agreeing on the plan to attack a certain Egyptian city.

You will find more information elsewhere - especially in -Jrabbit's excellent embellished history of our Civilization (a little behind at the moment), and in my recently topped thread titled "All important decisions to date - A VPs report ". Just read the threads, get to know the various characters hanging around, learn what happens, and you'll come to enjoy putting your own views up, or just mindlessly agreeing, or deliberately voting for the banana in all the polls (that's a long story!).

We are currently in the middle of decision time, where the elected "Ministers" have polled for the people to decide on certain actions, and they are now letting the President know what to do. When this is over, President cavebear will play the game for a while, based on all their recommendations. He will then let us know what happened, and the whole process starts again...

If all this is too much, just sit back and watch us a week or two. You'll get the hang of it.

Vice President
MrWIA.

where can we download the game to look at it? can we? its a little hard to get into the game wihtout knowing what's been happening...

Marquis de Sodaq · May 21, 2002, 16:24

Where relevant, ministers should provide screenshots to enhance their blather. Maybe it's time to provide a map thread? A place to just post maps of the empire at certain times...

The history thread is slowly being updated, as well. Among the countless short posts you will find a detailed history of events that have thus far unfolded.

maybe something cavebear can do afterhis next play: post the entire map (cut into little pieces => really usefull for our warplanning), something like I did in the old days

H Tower, it was long ago agreed that the Ministers should have access to the savegame, but it would not be available to all. It is the Ministers' job to keep the populace informed of all that happens within their realm, and if they are doing their job correctly, it should not be too hard to picture the game (it will never be quite the same I know, but close enough).

H Tower · May 22, 2002, 01:54

from what i've seen, it should be easy to understand what's happening if you been here since the begining, but if you jsut joined like me, it's a little harder. but i fully understand the reason why the game is not available to all. guess i'll just have to keep reading

MrWhereItsAt · May 22, 2002, 02:53

That'll do ya, H Tower. If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me or post them. Any of the Ministers (reported in the Council thread at the top) SHOULD be willing to help you out too.

But try not to bother President cavebear - us lowly Ministers are there to answer for him, and I know how demanding his post can be.

rogue9_oz · May 22, 2002, 19:52

I'm interested in being involved. Will read through the thread to get the guist of what's happenin'.

MrWhereItsAt · May 23, 2002, 02:40

Welcome fellow Antipodean!

Once you get into things it's really rather fun!

Ren · May 23, 2002, 02:52

Yeh I might as well join the festivities, I might be able to teach youse how an e-democracy really works....

MrWhereItsAt · May 23, 2002, 03:03

Aha. A CFC vet. This could get interesting...

Welcome! Let's see what happens next.

Ren · May 23, 2002, 03:13

That was a quick reply

One question: what difficulty is this game on?

MrWhereItsAt · May 23, 2002, 03:17

The Vice President must be vigilant...

Deity. If you look at the thread titled "All important decisions to date-... ", you'll find a whole lotta useful info I compiled on us and the game.

Mr Bunny · May 23, 2002, 23:46

This sounds interesting. I'd like to give it a shot

-Jrabbit · May 24, 2002, 07:55

Welcome Mr Bunny! Nice to see you here.

BTW, I heard you dropped in on the RAH MP game last Friday. Condolences.

MrWhereItsAt · May 24, 2002, 09:39

Yes welcome!

Have a look around, you should find out most of what you need to know, and if not, just ask!

Bigcash · May 26, 2002, 23:00

I'm in. This sounds really cool.

i'm a CFC vet too, but i cut back on my forum time and had to drop it. besides, they weren't as understanding about spam as poly is, just look at the goats and such thread, that would have lasted all of 15 seconds at cfc

Gen. Hancock · May 27, 2002, 09:05

I'm in, but I'd really like to know how this democracy game works.

Gen. Hancock

MrWhereItsAt · May 27, 2002, 09:08

Welcome General! We are in the middle of electing a new Council to "rule" for a month. A lot of info is in my thread title "All important decisions to date" somewhere on the page.

If that's not enough, feel free to ask something specific. Most here are happy to help. I would - but sleep is calling me.

Good luck!

Bigcash · May 27, 2002, 12:29

Where can we get a copy of the latest savegame?

civman2000 · May 27, 2002, 14:14

only the council gets it

MrWhereItsAt · May 27, 2002, 15:51

Most information can be found in the "Our World in xxxx AD" thread.

Gen. Hancock · May 27, 2002, 16:21

Well I looked at the Our World xxxx AD thread and it was very interesting. I did not look at it very long though. I do have a few questions and some possible suggestions though.

1) Are we at war with anyone and with who?

2) What technology do we have?

3) What economic structure do we have?
_________________________________________________

1) If we are at war with the Americans or Romans end the war with them, establish commerce with them and make them our allies.

2) Capitalism is always better that Communism.

3) Abandon foriegn millitary outposts unless currently at war, and if they are the Americans or Romans.

see the xxxAD thread there you have a screenshot of the science-screen.

3) What economic structure do we have?

you mean govt?--> commie, best way to support our army and get rid of our unhappiness (Rep & Demo would destroy us now)

The Romans are in a containment-project(so we can abuse them for trade

(one of my accomplishments as SMC the second month

)
The Americans are a pain,no real peace possible and will be wiped out right after the Egyptians.
(BTW allies

you must be joking=>MGE+Deity+we are the only human player

)
